/vr/ - Retro Games

That's a CGI hand. They couldn't even be assed to have Yawiga hold the Gameboy.

It's a PS1 game but I've been emulating it on my switch (handheld) AND it's pinball!

Mario Pinball is decent on GBA for it's different take on the genre.

I've got a modded switch with all the Pinball FX DLC, maybe I'll boot some up now. What PS1 emulator do you use for your switch?

>>9387313
not him, but I put android on my switch and use duckstation.
I pretty much leave my hacked switch in android mode these days and use my oled for switch games.
but I've also got a steam deck now so I haven't used my hacked switch since I got that.

>>9387313
Duckstation.

Oracle of Seasons. I’m missing one heart piece, but I’m too lazy to search the whole map and don’t want to look it up. The game’s a lot longer than I remember, too. I think I’ll be just at 13 hours once I kill Onox, where I’m currently saved.
I’m not sure if I’ll go right to Ages, or if I’ll take a break and play something in between. I don’t want to get burned out playing both games twice in a row.

I've realized that Atari games are perfect to emulate on a phone, they have very simple controls, and are good for killing a couple of minutes.

been playing adventure island 2 (gb) on v90. pretty fucking fun but im a spastic and run through guns blazing and die a lot

>>9387283
I've seen picrel mor etimes than I can count, and I'm just now noticing his hand is CG.

>>9387283
I've been playing Pokemon Pinball Ruby and Sapphire on GBA. I'm not a Pokemon guy but it is fun to collect and evolve them in a pinball format and the tables are quite well designed. Only downsides are no rumble and there are just 2 tables. Worth a go I think even though you didnt like the GBC version.

I played through all of super metroid subversion on my new rg353v and now I'm going through ascent, fantastic experience

>>9387283
got a new gbc build that i've been playing heavily
i usually do 3ds, vita, or psp-3000

for gbc ive been playing through:
6 golden coins (never played before)
pokemon crystal (nuzlocke)
pokemon trading card game 2 (english translation)
tetris

>>9387872
Because only now you are aware of things like the stock image market.
As a kid you tend to take things more naively literal and as true.
Sure, they went to Africa or wherever and put the Gamy Boy in the tribe leader's hand. I mean why wouldn't they?

>>9387872

>>9388376
I suppose next you're going to tell me that his name wasn't actually Yawiga Kanawi?

>>9387295
Downloaded the game on PSP, its a pretty good pinball

>>9387325
>>9387332
Is there a noticiable improvement on Android?

I finally decided to take a look at the picross series. I've been having a great time with Pokemon picross on gbc/powkiddy v90 for the past few days. I'm gonna have to check out the others, now.

>>9392007
>>9387843
its cute how cheap it is but can't that thing barely even run GBA/SNES games?

What happened to the chink handheld general

>>9387283
Blazing through Metroid games lately.
Currently I'm at GBA era Metroids, just beat Zero Mission

Did DQ Monsters tonight. It's odd in that while there's monsters and types, none seems effective over another, they're all just levelbases with different skill learning and exchangable skills. Breeding over generations is fun, and while you want to change monster a lot due to getting new ones at a good rate, your stable can't hold 'catching them all', so you breed off ones you liked and make ubermon with your favorite skills. Though it still doesn't help against S class and its instadeath curse monsters you just gotta pray to RNG you don't let get a hit in.

Can't be fucked with the postgame as it's more abusing ffwd on emulator to max out and then start over with new bred mons, and more random dungeons with ungodly numbers of floors. Is 2 better/different enough?

>>9392007
>I finally decided to take a look at the picross series
Oooh man. And there are a million of them to play, too. My first was 3D, and I've played most of the non-retro ones at this point. The retro ones are kind of hard to go back to since they're missing some key features for me, like easy square counting.
I wish they'd make more themed ones.

>>9387283
Found my first gameboy in storage and completely modding it. Recommendations for games?

>>9387294
Can confirm. He's bad at holding things. Nice guy overall, though. Good at visual novels. Said the other day that he's into web design nowadays.

>>9392530
it can't really do SNES but fuck it it's a handheld and I play handheld games

>>9393128
Nigga did u find a gameboy or are you building one yourself? Lmaooo

>>9392619
Wtf we had that??

be careful doing the screen
if you have to peel that reflective backing
go SLOWLY or it will be destroyed its fragile af

its not impossible but its one of the most difficult mods for the dmg until you start forcing GBC guts inside the case...

if you fail the IPS mods aren't as bad as people here say they are, but DO NOT FAIL the original screen with led backlight is maximum comfy

Saw this image on /v/ the other day so i'm using the exact same setup on my phone

>>9395654
Fucking why? This game literally has a version for phones with more content than the DS one

>>9395672
Have you ACTUALLY tried both? The mobile port is utter trash, the text scalong isnawful, the ui is all over the place, backgrounds lost their soul, combat got casualized, ai commands are different ("""easier""" = most of the obscure shit is gone) and the enemy count got reduced on the hardest missions (i assume it's also because it lags when a lot of stuff is happening on the screen), not to mention the port doesn't work on android 11

>>9395654
Which game is it?

>>9396198
TWEWY - The World Ends With (You) for the nintendo DS; the story is a damn rollercoaster

Is there a way to get android games to accept analog stick and button controls instead of touch on the retroid pocket 3?

>>9387283
OOO EEE OOO AAH AAH TING TANG WALLA WALLA BING BANG

>>9396732
Ok, looks interesting, is the Switch version worse than the DS one?

What’s the most ergonomic handheld nowadays ? Is it still the 353P?

>>9398563
I've played both and they're both pretty good. I'd give the nod to the DS because it was originally designed for dual screens, but I also play switch docked a decent amount, and am a sucker for things ona 70"+ screen. If you're going to buy it, probably switch, but if you just want to use an R4 it's also good.

It's the Witch Doctor again. Has he improved his Dr. Mario game any, or is he still shrinking heads for being a sore loser?

>>9397901
Yes

>>9396732
>use the edgiest name you can think of
>it reads twee-wii

nothing

>pull my Game Boy Pocket out of storage
>battery terminals are all corroded to hell
Feels bad man. I'm sure it can probably be repaired but that's beyond my abilities (of which I have none). Too bad Gamestop doesn't offer console repair services. Plus, if I wanted to use it, I'd have to have the batteries replaced in my Pokemon carts too.

>>9403024
Should be able to just clean the terminals up unless they're really bad. Could just buy a flashcart for games after that.

This game was my Jet Set Radio 3

>>9403024
Sounds like you've already written it off. If that's the case, what's stopping you from just watching a quick tutorial on cleaning contact terminals and giving it a shot?

I'm loving this chink handheld (V90). For 30 USD, it's amazing what it can do. If you set it up correctly, you can play most of the PS1 library; hell, I bet that if you're willing to tolerate some compromises you could run the entire thing. Currently playing Silent Hill and Crash Team Racing.

>>9403024
I thought the same thing until COVID hit and I had time to learn. It’s actually a lot easier then I could’ve imagined especially if you have nothing to lose.

>>9404664
What OS? This shit can barely even run Yoshi's Island, you're full cap senpai

>>9405440
Miyoo and yes, Yoshi's Island doesn't work right off the bat. You need to experiment a lot with the settings and with different emulators. Admittedly it's a bit of a headache sometimes, but the results can be surprising. Now I can play that game with little to no issues.

>>9387940
It has rumble, on Gameboy player mode, you'd need either the actual gamecube / system or etc or compatible emulator with a hex edit patch to make it work on emulator

>>9403024
to clean contacts a tad bit but just enough for it to work: q tip and alcohol and then vinegar after, if not try bubble water (also with qtip, just lightly) will disintegrate sulphuric acid dust, also works for car batteries, dont use other sodas, although in a pinch Sprite does work for corroded contacts on car batteries

>>9393927
He's building one with the motherboard and using the parts to make a custom one with his old gameboy, probably modding the screen to make it have backlight, modern times new methods

Thinking about getting a Retroid handheld. How’s the build quality on them? Are they janky chink shit?

>>9398563
Yes. Every version that isn't the OG DS version is awful by comparison.

>>9393927
rofl

>>9406391
Would the GBA version of Yoshi's Island work better?

>>9407325
I personally play through a different SNES emulator, which proved to be miles better. I've downloaded specific forks and BIOS files. The configuration files themselves are created with the game I want to play in mind, so there's also that. But generally, yes; if you want to avoid the headache you can easily play the GBA version of the game, since the emulation for that is almost perfect and you don't have to mess around too much with the device.

>>9406391
>>9404664
I just got my V90 in today actually, I'm liking it overall for what I wanted it for (Cheap GB to GBA device) but I'm having a really annoying problem in Castlevania Aria of Sorrow with the music being fucked up, any ideas?

Running the GBA emulator that comes with the Miyoo CFW with a legit bios file.

>>9403024
>left the batteries in my toy
>reaped the rewards for my stupidity
Many such cases.
>can't clean it myself
Pay the idiot tax Plenty of children on ebay who can do it for you

>>9407529
Price?

>>9407529
Did you try different ELF files like this one
>https://github.com/rik-smeets/gpsp/releases/tag/1.2
or this one?
>https://github.com/Apaczer/gpsp/releases/tag/v20220718

If you're still having problems, you may need to configure the emulator (just try different settings for that game), give a shot to a different emulator, redownload the rom from another website or worse, reflash the SD/CFW. Sometimes the fix is easier than you think though, for example many GBA games outright crashed on my unit, but then I simply copy-pasted the BIOS and ELF files into the Roms folder as well as the Emu folder and, for some reason, it worked.

If you still can't solve it, I'm sorry to say it but you will have to create a Discord account and join the Retro Handheld server (let me know if you want the link). Believe it or not, those trannies helped me quite a few times.
